Best Memory Loss Poems

It's a bit like...
you are in a bathroom
filling a hot tub,
slowly the steam 
covers the mirror...
and the mirror loses it's reflection;
that loss of reflection,
is my memory fading !

A woman so strong with no mum of her own
Who grew independently battled alone
Raised 3 beautiful kids and shined a light on there's
Liked after them always nan always cared 
Worked all day and lead a good happy life
Then Mother Nature struck with a gruelling blunt...

Memory Loss

Motivated by thought,
realised mistreated actions.
I owe it to myself, 
to know I am enough.
Who do you think you are,
to make me doubt 
my fire
that burns to bright
for you to desire.
How strong can you then be,
if you can't handle me?
So I have a memory loss
of...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Had a bad headache last night...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
I wake up now and the time is bright
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Get dressed, no time for breakfast
I'm needed at investigations by request
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
A girl was killed, in the...

I hope you forgive me for my memory loss
I forget for long time divine dream 
Dream which touch the pick
By the grace of your divine thought
How can I forget you and your thought?
Which remove darkness of my life
And again show me way to go on...

Visions of illustrated forks 
Pointing your direction
To the far away mystic night
Where the werewolves howl
Guiding you to your room
Filled with lights and sorrow
The same fearful sound 
Of clicking, like an unwanted houseguest
Or a stray dog with no name
Piercing the hallow depths 
Of your pitiful imagination...

Her mind was slipping away,
further and further everyday.
"Who are you?", She would say.
"Don't you know me?, I'm Ray!"
"I know him!"...

Mind forgets thoughts of recent times,
Etch blurry lines of my story;
Even new plots seem spent of rhyme,
Try to divine a glimpse to see.
Must time erase the new thoughts here?
Expect to lift some new recall,
Mindset can trace some sense of cheer,
Offer a gift that sweetens gall;
Reach...

The old man stood;elbows resting on the old stone wall
Wistfully he gazed over the snow laden field,
Watching the sheep nibble on bales of hay,
He thought back remembering his working day.

In his leather like work hardened hand,
In left palm carefully placed a tobacco slice,,
With his right...

I thought it was tonight
but maybe it's tomorrow.
I wondered when I woke
with memory stalled in sorrow.

Then got up to a life
that faded into mind.
And knew I couldn't share
what others couldn't find.

Then started out my day
remembering what I could.
Ignoring all the others
that never understood.

Until I had...

She sits before the open window
a slight breeze not enough to cool her
watching as the curtains stir
she thinks they are speaking
words that she can't quiet hear
memories come and go-mainly of long ago
yesterday, that was just another day
already forgotten
her eyes close and faces appear
of whom she...

there are mountains 
in my mind
those i can’t climb
no matter how i try
smooth glass-like walls
with no finger holds

thousands times 
a thousand
i circle the wide base
there are no crannies
not a hint 
of small cracks
nothing i can see

i dream of wings
something with which
to ascend 
unassailable heights
but my...

The daughter suspected there was something wrong…she found it most upsetting…when she began to notice all the little things her mother was forgetting.

And the more she saw her mother falter…her misplaced keys…her lost glasses…her forgotten shoes…The more confusion she saw on her mother’s  face…the...
